I'd be trying 'pg_ctlcluster --force 9.4 main stop' and 'pg_ctlcluster 9.4 main start' instead of service start/stop. If it works, you have narrowed down the problem to systemd and/or the startup scripts. If it doesn't work, the problem is elsewhere (eg. some required path like /var/run or /tmp or /var/log/postgresql doesn't exist or has peculiar permissions). If nothing else, you should get more informative output rather than systemd hiding it away somewhere. -- Stuart Bishop <stuart@stuartbishop.net> http://www.stuartbishop.net/
